The Returning Ex Chapter 1083

At the side, John was also a tad exasperated at Logan’s demeanor. Although he was a man, meaning that he probably wasn’t as sensitive or perceptive as a woman, he could still see the difference in Logan’s treatment of Lola. He thought, Perhaps he himself isn’t aware of these changes. After all, he isn’t all that great at hiding his emotions but wears his heart on his sleeves, so much so that people around him could perceive the anomaly. It’s actually fine if he’s single, but the thing is, he now has a girlfriend! Thus, this is rather troublesome.

Lola sat upright, putting a bit of distance between her and Logan. Then, she scoffed, “You? I don’t want to damage your pride.” Her voice had once again reverted to her usual jocular tone, brushing Logan off.

This time, however, Logan didn’t go ballistic. He merely stared at her. “Just tell me whether you dare bet on it.”

Pursing her lips, Lola pondered for a moment before nodding. “Fine, I’ll bet on it.” She even asked him what the stakes were.

Without even thinking about it, Logan answered, “Anything you want.”

This daring attitude of his in staking anything for a bet was truly captivating, but it only caused Jasmine’s expression to change once again as she sat beside him. She pressed her lips together, her gaze fixed on him. A few seconds later, she slowly retracted her gaze and shifted it to the flowers at the side.

Sophia was at a loss for words to ameliorate the atmosphere at this moment. It seems as though nothing I say will work, what with his ignorance!

Beside her, John gave a soft sigh. Then, he spoke of some plans he had for Ernest’s birthday celebration. At this, both Logan and Lola listened intently, the former even offering some suggestions while discussing the matter. For instance, he proposed how he’d make his way to Lola to protect her

once John was lured away besides how John’s men would show themselves and offer reinforcements in the event of trouble.

While they were talking, Sophia didn’t join the conversation. Rather, she chatted about something else with Jasmine. She could tell that Jasmine was getting noticeably restless. Such circumstances are indeed unconducive to her, mainly because that fool, Logan Jefferson, is truly too single-minded! He brought her here, yet showed zero concern for her feelings. Strictly speaking, he’s neglecting his duties as a boyfriend!

However, she inwardly had some misgivings toward Jasmine as well. Such an attitude from him is becoming commonplace, yet she has never once taken a stance on this matter so that he knows where he’s going wrong. Thus, another presumption took form in her mind. She must have ulterior motives in getting together with him! After all, his wealth is there for all to see, so the average girl will cling to him regardless of love. For the sake of the wealth and opulence behind him, she won’t mind enduring the outward grievance and humiliation!

Jasmine wasn’t even in the mood to talk to her, so she merely grunted thoughtfully from time to time as Sophia chattered. Hence, it was only natural that the conversation couldn’t be sustained for long. In the end, they could only stop and listen as John, Lola, and Logan discussed their plan on that day.

After some time, Sophia shuffled to her feet with a hand on her stomach upon seeing that the discussion was showing no signs of winding up. “I’m going to have a stroll around. Would you like to join me, Miss Xanthos?” Actually, this was merely the final way she could offer Jasmine to help her out of this awkward situation.

However, Jasmine shook her head. “It’s okay. I’ll just sit here for a while.”
